Everyone knows River Grove is the village with illiterate morons. Look at the library board for proof of that. Look at all the stupid decisions they have made on behalf of the library. They have wasted the library money. While they pat themselves on the back.

RG will never ever have a new library as long as these old farts are on the board and with the currnt village administration.

what do you expect...no one will challenge the old goats on the board...so they do as they please. It is sad...no progress in all these years...just dumb decisions that wastes precious money. One dumb decision after another.

Is maywood good or bad?Everyone knows River Grove is the village with illiterate morons. Look at the library board for proof of that. Look at all the stupid decisions they have made on behalf of the library. They have wasted the library money. While they pat themselves on the back.RG will never ever have a new library as long as these old farts are on the board and with the currnt village administration.All these people are just dumb hacks. Too Bad.<quoted text>

The library board is a slow disaster. That library is stagnating with all the disasterous decisions those old timer are making. No one wants to even run for trustee knowing that they would have to face those knuckleheads. Why bother and deal with the frustration. Such a shame. it does make you wonder why all this property was purchased knowing full well that the zoning was not set up for a library. What a waste. Now I hear that when the library director wants to get a couple buckets of paint to improve the current library, they flat out refuse her. but in th meantime they go blowing money on property purchases that sit unused for years. All those taxes and insurance could have been saved and used for the library.

Geez....how much does a couple bucket of paint cost? Cant be more than $50.

by the way, the ceiling in the back of the library above the young adult section looks like it will collapse soon. You may want to check it out before someone gets hurt at the libray.

It amazes me that people say that river Grove Library Board is a bunch of tools and hacks. Elections for the Library Board was in April and only one person filed for one of two seats. As I have said quit your bitchin' and do something about it. In 1995, four board member will be up for reelection or election. Do something about it, file to get you name on the ballot. You will spend nothing in a campaign unless you choose too.

one new person against 3 that hvebeen in power 30 years. No one wants to del with that. Ifit would be all trustees, then thenIwould run.. but going against tholse old codgers that are set I their ways. no way oJose.

It would not be against 3 it would be close to 6- a few have been in and out. with the exceptions of prokop the others have 15 plus years under their belt.there needs to be a vote of no confidence.

15 years of experience doing what? Having a meeting about buying cheap file folders? The board of all various members have done absolutely nothing progressive for the library or the community.

No one wants to deal with them with a 10 foot pole. People have given up.

and moved out of River Grove. so no one sticks long enough to care. River Grove is a transient community.

Plus it is too late for the library. The library should have joined together with Elmwood Park or Franklin Park. That ship has sailed and who suffers....River Grove.

These idiots were on board when those decisions could have made but because of ego and stupidity...they sat like fools doing nothing.

It is too late for the RG library if you ask me and most of the community feels the same way. Their chance has passed. No one wants to deal with the aftermath. Too little too late.

are you kidding. The old timers acted upright around her.. but behind her back..they did what they wanted and kept her out of the loop. Same thing with this new trustee...some dumb Indian woman. I heard them talking about computers ...behind me. They were talking about how the computers are being used for surfing the web and that that was not what computers were for. Dumb ...out of touch completely.. Those trustees are stuck in the forties..they are really out of touch with the world.

i heard that the historical society is now locatng their office in the basement of the RIver Grove Library. I see good ole Don Hanson walking in and outof the library basement. I also heard the library money is being used for historical society to keep the building up.

Good ole Don hansen is an idiot. He visited the horticultural club at Triton because his wife was a member. Came one day and ruined it. He took upon himself to rewrite the bylaws or rules and focused on sustainability. He drove people away. I and several other members quit because of him.

I wish he would just go away. He is just trouble. He ruins it for everyone with his stuypid ideas. Its his way or no way. He is just a blubbering idiot.

<quoted text>Don Hansen and Michael Prokop are on the historical Society.

Isn't there a conflict of interest for Michael Prokop to be on the Library Board and the Historical Society.He has been on that board for 25+ years and has done nothing. I wonder what he has done to improve the historical society.
